Extra-large, universal towing mirrors clip over your existing side mirrors to give you an extended rear view. A ratcheting strap system creates a snug fit to reduce vibration. Easy, tool-free installation. Includes 2 mirrors.

Specs:
These adjustable, universal-fit towing mirrors expand your field of vision so you can better see your trailer or anything else that is behind you. The ratcheting strap system gives you a snug fit that reduces mirror vibration. Because the mirror arms adjust into several shapes, they can be attached to a variety of vehicles. Each of the mirrors' mounting arms is jointed behind the mirrors so the arms pivot inward or outward. 2 Additional joints in the middle of each arm add further adjustability so you get the perfect fit.
Built-in clips on the arms will grab the lip between the glass on your factory mirrors and the factory housing. These clips are also adjustable to fit the thickness of your mirror housing.
The ratcheting system uses heavy-duty rubber straps to tighten the towing mirrors securely over your existing mirrors. Quick-release buttons in the middle of the ratchet levers allow you to unlock the ratchet mechanism for fast strap adjustment or easy removal of the mirrors. When you install the towing mirrors, use the ratchet levers to tighten the straps. When you have the straps securely on your mirrors, close the ratchet covers over the ratchets to lock them in place.
Ball joints behind the mirrors allow you to manually adjust the mirror faces to different viewing angles. You can also turn each entire mirror face to a horizontal or vertical position - whatever works best for your application. Rubber pads on the straps protect the back of your factory mirrors to prevent scratches when these mirrors are installed for towing. Tools and other hardware aren't needed for installation, and the tight fit means there is no danger of losing these mirrors on the side of the road. You'll be ready to travel in minutes, and the increased field of vision will allow you to cruise the highways stress free.

Installed on a 2017 KIA Sorento LX. Clean the back of your mirrors before ratcheting these on, it will help them stay in place. I wanted the best angle possible, so I installed then further out on the mirrors. Due to the curvature of the KIA mirror housings, I was not 100% confident that I wouldn’t lose a mirror while on the road. A few zip ties around the base of the housing increased my comfort level. Mirrors held fast at highway speeds. Do they vibrate? Yes. Can I tell you the eye color of the driver in the other vehicle? No. Do they show me much more of the blind spots I cannot see with my vehicle mirrors? ABSOLUTELY. Notice the difference in which vehicles I can see in the pictures. Please excuse the dirty windows, we were camping after all.
Overall I am happy with the clip on mirrors. I will be fashioning a Velcro safety strap and would recommend something similar be added to the product.
It is a universal fit, I had to add some zip ties to hold the outer strap from slipping g of the end of the mitrror.
It took a little attention and adjustment to get the mirrors properly secured with the wraparound clamps in the proper location. On the mirror there is an inner adjustment slot which appeared to work better and when ratcheting the web straps it was good to click one at a time towards the end of tightening. I took them on a test drive, readjusted them and then went on a 500 mile trip up to 65mph with no problems. It does appear as if they're ready to slip off the mirror ends but did not. It would be nice if there was a third horizontal strap that clipped onto the car side of the mirror. Other brands have multiple mirrors but the one mirror added to the original car mirror gave a satisfactory and non confusing rear view.
I like the mirrors. No matter how I fastened them on my 2023 Ford Ranger I could pretty easily pull them off. They might would have stayed on but I added some ball bungees to make sure. Made a 300 mile trip pulling a small trailer with them.

What a creative idea! Please keep us updated on how this works out.
These hold tight and have held up well. Very well made and easy to install. We use it for a 2013 Toyota Highlander and a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. They're a necessity!! Use on the Highlander is seamless. However, the Rover has folding mirrors (you can't turn off), so we either don't lock our doors, or make for dang sure the strap isn't covering the mirrors' "elbows" when installing them pre-trip. Pictures are of the Rover only.
They were easy to install (once you figure out where the strap release button is located) and worked like a charm!
I drive a 2017 Suburban and towed a Keystone Bullet (about 8 1/2’ wide and 30’ long) 160 miles today without any issues.
The mirrors are not what I’d call pleasing to the eye, but they certainly provided an additional 18” of span, enabling me to look down the sides of the trailer and see cars behind me.
Easy to attach if follow directions. Only slight vibration on my 2017 Toyota 4runner. The straps disassemble themselves in storage. Once adjusted, remember how they look so can tell which straps go with which side when reinstall.

My 4runner has solidly mounted mirrors so still no problem with vibration. Tape strips on clamps to id leftright and frontback clamps helps a lot.

The mirrors are a good fit, but each requires that 2 ratchet straps are in working order. In my set of 4 straps, one of them does not hold at all, so is worthless. See others mentioning zip-ties, so I will get some that are long enough and try that for this weekend's trip

All the straps should be working for you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
I have used these towing mirrors on my 2020 Ford Ranger for several major camping trips in the past year. They are rock solid and do not vibrate at all, even on gravel roads. The ratcheting system when properly adjusted holds the mirror firmly in place. My only issue with the convex mirror is for backing my camper into a camping space. They offer great visibility to the rear on the road, but the image is distorted enough when backing that it becomes a little tricky. I only wish that the similar K-Source towing mirror with a flat mirror had the ratcheting attachment system instead of just pull-tight straps. I would purchase those to improve my ability to back up my camper if they did.
Using on a 2016 Explorer, for towing a 19ft camper. Have to be a little careful placing the outside strap, after which, it holds well (has not fallen off). The mirror works good for seeing the lane next to the camper. So it serves its intended purpose.
The mirrors go on fairly easily once you figure out the procedure 2013 Ram. Only put them on when taking the boat to the ramp (round trip around 60 miles). No vibration. Can know tell if there is a car behind the boat - 24' cuddy.
I bought these mirrors for my 2022 Chevy traverse. They fit perfectly and mount solidly with no vibration when traveling at highway speeds. I highly recommend these mirrors when towing with a 2022 traverse.

I’ve used these mirrors on numerous trips over the past year and have had absolutely no issues with them on my 2022 Chevy traverse. I am still happy to recommend them.
Considering this is a universal trailer mirror, I thought the items worked very well. Yes, there is a bit of jiggle in the mirror but it is not overbearing. I've been looking for an exact fit for my 2020 Outback but there was nothing to find. Even the dealership didn't have a clue. Very happy with my purchase!
We bought a camper trailer and towed it home. Realizing the factory mirrors on the 5th gen 4runner don't quite stick out far enough to see the sides of the trailer or up coming traffic, the drive home was a little intense. We have multiple vehicles that can tow the trailer so I wanted to get something that could be universal. FYI, when dealing with mirrors, be careful you don't have hornets nests inside your vehicle mirrors, not fun. Either way, they were easy to install and have joints that allow for total adjustment. I would say it was easier to bend and position all the joints before I added the straps for mounting. The new mirrors sit tight and can be fully adjusted and rotated horizontal or vertically. Also clean off and dry your vehicle mirrors before attaching so the straps stick better.
Awesome upgrade from previous Towing mirrors. larger viewing surface and much more stable on our 2017 Subaru Outback mirrors.

These mirrors were a massive improvement over the ones we originally bought. They stay very stable at highway speed and are super easy to adjust. We went on a 6 week camping trip, mirrors left on the entire time. They worked well and stayed in their adjusted position.

I used this on my Ford Explorer to gain extra vision around the trailer. They work great. I can see clearly on each side of my trailer when towing.
These are working out great! I'm now a wiz at putting them on too. They're great quality, sturdy and snug fitting. Very happy.
Worked perfectly on our 2022 Toyota Highlander. Solid fit with no movement.
Used over Labor Day weekend to tow travel trailer, could not see outside of tt sides with car mirror. Worked as advertised, fit securely, no vibration at highway speeds.
The mirrors work great. Originally bought for a 2007 Tacoma, and we upgraded to a 2022 Tacoma. The mirrors still fit and function properly. Quick and easy to install and remove. Great mirrors for hauling the small camper around.

The mirrors still fit and function as they were purchased a year ago. There are no issues with the ratcheting straps or the arm braces. They are quick and easy to install and remove. They are small enough to be stored away in a small cubby in the camper so you always have them when you need them.

These didn't work very well for me. I have a 2022 Durango and was never able to get them adjusted correctly. One ended up falling off while I was towing. The quality is good enough, they just didn't work well with my tow vehicle.
These worked well on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. First install took a little time to get the adjustment right, but they worked well on my 300 mile trip. Had some strong desert winds make my driver side mirror fold in a few times, but I just pushed it back out and everything was good.
The towing mirrors are easy to mount to my 2015 Jeep Cherokee, and so far I haven't had a problem with them loosening.
The Mirrors worked great on my Jeep Wrangler. I have tried other add on tow mirrors but did not like the vibration I was getting. These have a ratchet so they can be tightened much easier.
These are pretty good for towing my 7.5' wide box trailer on occasion. For more frequent towing, invest in permanent mirrors. These get annoying to put on and take off, but i only run them when i take my trailer and sxs places. I did alter the one slightly to get the oem mirror into position.
